I don't think that White had a typical thirties experience, with his apartment in New York City and his farm out in the country
One detail that suck with me from Allen's book was how, when the Great Depression hit, a lot of wealthy city dwellers with farms or cottages out in the country did flee to their second homes— it felt like such a parallel to Covid Times.
I'm really looking forward to reading (the rest of) White's book!
